I've been watching the Olympics (I totally geeked out when I heard the TARDIS wooshing during the opening ceremonies), and wondering- if they had the Olympics during the Renaissance, what sort of spots would they have played?  Jousting seems obvious, as well as fencing and archery.  What other sports were popular back then?
